Seems to have changed his name to Belsom.

See notes for Andrew T. Ellingboe (#3197).

He was a farmer in Wang Twp, Renville County, Minnesota, in the 1900 census. In that census, he was 64, born in March or May of 1836, had been married to Kirsti for 26 years, and came to the U.S. in 1866. All eight living children were still at home.

In the 1905 state census, he, as Ole Belsom, and his family are still in Renville County. Nils, Gina, Theoline, Charoline, and Bertina are still living at home.

The family has left Renville County by the time of the 1910 census. In that census, he, as Ole Bellsem, and his wife, and daughters Tillena, 21, Caroline, 18, and Bertha, 17, live in Minneapolis.

The parish birth record shows he was Ole Østenson, legitimate son of Osten Anderson Rogn-eiet and Marith Olsdatter, born 17 Mar 1836 and baptized 8 May. Sponsors Tosten Gulbrandsen Torpe, Anders Jøgersen Qvien-eiet, Marit Gjermundsdatter Rogn, Margarite Torpe, and Sigri Johansdatter Skjefte.

In the 1865 Norwegian census, he is Ole Østensen, age 30, unmarried inderste and skomager on the Heen nedre 79/1 farm.

Ole’s parents, Østen Anderssen, age 70, and Marith Olsdatter, 60, live on Snøyen in Vang, as a husmann med jord. Their unmarried son, Thomas, age 18, lives with them.

17468

Seems to have gone by the name Oliver, at least at the time he graduated from high school in 1930. A commemorative plaque apparently given to each of the nine graduates shows “E. Oliver Ellingboe.”

He is listed twice in the 1930 census: at home with his parents and as a farm laborer lodging with the Raymond Hussong family on their farm in Alba Twp, Jackson County, Minnesota.

In the 1940 census, he is living at home in New Market with his parents and siblings. He was a high school graduate and was employed as a mechanic.

Registered for the draft in Shakopee on 16 Oct 1940. He claimed to be self-employed and living with his parents at 2 Lakeville in New Market. The registration card shows that he was inducted on May 4, 1941.

From a write-up of “Old Timer” W.O. Edwin O. Ellingboe in the North Star Guardian, sometime in 1961:

It was May, 1941, when WO Edwin O. “Ellie” Ellingboe, ABRON’s Motor Vehicle Maintenance Officer, volunteered for the draft. Just after Pearl Harbor, he joined the 109th at Esler Field, Louisiana, and went overseas to southern England where he spent 22 months in training.

June 1944 marks the invasion of Europe. The 109th crossed the channel to France during the night in Liberty ships. From Ellie’s ship, trucks were unloaded onto barges to make the landing. Ellie boarded the last barge where he discovered he was the ranking NCOIC. He recalls, “While we were in the channel, both the outboard motors on our barge quit and we started drifting. To make matters worse, we were under attack from German aircraft. Finally, we got the motors started and made our landing. I waited for the last truck to be unloaded. By that time, we were separated from the rest of our squadron so we bunked under the truck until morning when we joined the rest of our outfit.”

At first, Ellie and his men were located at a front line air strip near St. Lo (No. A-9 for the benefit of the other Old-Timers). From there, he continued to move through France with the 109th. “I’ll never forget my first morning in Versailles. I woke up to find a dead Jerry lying almost beside me,” remembers Ellie.

Next came Paris, then a move to Gosselies, Belgium {a part of the Belgian town of Charleroi} - about 35 miles from the Battle of the Bulge. During the winter of 1944, his outfit was on the receiving end of several German bombing raids, including a few attacks by V-1s.

“One evening,” remembers Ellie, “three crippled bombers with full bomb loads landed at our base and skidded into a stockpile of petroleum drums. The crew members got out O.K. but the resulting fire set off all the bombs. That was the best Fourth of July celebration I’ve ever seen.”

The 109th was at Eschwagen, Germany, when the war ended. German aircraft literally poured into the field to surrender rather than land at Russian-held bases.

Next, the 109th was re-assigned to the China-Burma-India theatre of operations. But all those who had sufficient service time (including Ellie) were transferred to non-combat organizations. Ellie spent a short time with the 155th Photo Reconnaissance Squadron, then reassigned to the States where he was discharged at Camp McCoy in March, 1947. Ellie joined the Guard as an Air Technician.

South Minneapolis residents, Ellie and his wife, Ann, have two daughters, 10 and 7. Fishing and reading are Ellie’s pastimes.
